Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has
accepted a charge for improper conduct following his push on a
linesman during last weekend's Premier League win against
Tottenham, the English FA announced on Thursday.
Pardew, who is in Greece for Newcastle's Europa League
qualifier with Atromitos, was sent to the stands and later
apologised on television for his "stupid" act.
"Alan Pardew has accepted an FA charge of improper conduct
following his side's match against Tottenham Hotspur on 18
August 2012," read a brief FA statement.
The 51-year-old has requested a personal hearing.
